GWGEN: A global weather generator for daily data

tests

package

Welcome! This synthesis of FORTRAN and Python is a globally applicable
weather generator inspired by the original WGEN weather generator of
[Richardson1981] and parameterized through a global dataset of [GHCN] and
[EECRA] data. A paper with the scientific documentation is in progress, the
technical documentation with more information is hosted on github.io.
